Was a youngster when all this was taking place and I just have to say again, 'what a time to be alive'. Thanks for putting these films up, they really capture the times.

[@TakeDeadAim]

I remember as a kid building models of the Saturn rockets and wishing I would have been able to see and hear one of them launch. I do remember listening to the last Apollo launch with my parents on the radio and would read anything that had to do with space travel. All of that was a HUGE and lasting influence on my eventual career as a Naval Aviator and later a commercial pilot. The men of Mercury, Gemini and Apollo were not just astronauts...they truly were pioneers with nerves of steel and hero's to an entire generation of young boys and girls.

I had the LEM, from REVEL

[@josephdonnelly2663]

when you consider what happened on apollo 13. Apollo 8 without a lunar module, was the bravest mission of all Apollo flights.

[@STS-Dreamer]

true, but also consider that Apollo 13’s oxygen tank only exploded because a broken temperature indicator allowed an otherwise completely normal “burnoff” to reach in excess of 1000F which doomed that specific oxygen tank long before liftoff. obviously any other myriad of things could go wrong, but the lack of a lunar module being more dangerous is really only an artifact of a few specific failure modes so I don’t think it made Apollo 8 any more dangerous than any other mission that it didn’t have the “lifeboat” with it.

[@SueBobChicVid]

I never get tired of seeing a Saturn V leave the launch pad.

[@titiparisien5915]

I remember listening all night on my tiny radio transistor the live coverage of the lunar orbit insertion and the various comments exchanged between the crew and Mission control.

Jim Lovell has always been one of my favorites. He later flew on the ill fated Apollo 13 mission and never got to land on the Moon itself...but having traveled there twice, he probably has more laps around it then most. His book "Lost Moon" is a classic about the Apollo 13 mishap and is a must read for people interested in the Apollo program.

[@tsf5-productions]

Another true, amazing feat of man's desire to explore outer space and Earth's "beautiful" moon. I was 18 when this took place and, the TV live transmission of Frank Lovell's beautiful tribute to man's overall of God's "hand work" in the verses of the Bible's first book: Genesis, had an effect to all, in some way or another. It's still queer that there are skeptics in the space explorations of decades ago. Why? God knows and wishes the human skeptics would believe there's a purpose for all experiences in existence in Creation. One of the sad things, if not two was, that the Apollo One original crew did not see this event happen (Grissom, White and Chafee - who died in the late January, 1967 Apollo ground test fire). The other...that Jim Lovell never got to be on the moon in April, 1970 with Apollo 13.

At.8:31 and 8:47, the narrator says "insertion" when he should have said "injection." Starting the trip from the Earth to the Moon or the Moon to the Earth was "injection". Going immediately into orbit around the Earth or the Moon was "insertion". At 16:40, he says that photography of the lunar surface was done on the dark side of the moon. I doubt it. The lunar surface is not visible on the dark side of the moon. Of course, no part of the lunar surface is permanently in the dark, so all of it can be photographed at one time or another.

[@johnvrabec9747]

At the time of the Christmas Eve broadcast, 61% of the far side of the moon was illuminated by the sun, so they got to see very easily what no humans had ever seen befir.

[@jackkomisar458]

@@johnvrabec9747 We agree with one another. Astronauts can see the illuminated part of the moon, whether it is the near side, the far side, or part of both sides. Astronauts cannot see the dark side of the moon at any time, whether it is the near side, the far side, or part of both sides. When astronauts are near the dark side of the moon, what they see is a great black void with no stars. What we call the near side of the moon is the same from day to day, except for a little wobble. What we call the dark side of the moon changes from day to day.

I still cant get over how almost exact the Moon map globe NASA used for training in preparation of lunar landing looks like the Apollo Live TV imagery. I mean I and I bet 99% or those who have viewed both could not tell the difference either because of the quality of playback. NASA did admit too Studio and Stage films for use in parts of their broadcasts which again seemed almost exact too what we were beamed from the Moon. Also odd that our Lunar Lander had so many gaps in it's construction and essentially used a industrial metal foil as part of its structure. I believe we went there but I also believe some of the Footage we see is studio made for one reason or another.
